There are many movies I just like or don't like but with Actors/Actresses I adore. 

This post contains Movies I only like, because of Actors/or Scenes


Silk
2007 UK
Actor: Kanata Hongo

One of my absolute fav actors from Japan. Young Kanata Hongo (Oh and Keira Knightley is there too, of course!). The main thing about Hongo is, that he rarely smiles; but when he does, it`s magical! His acting taught me, that only I am able to fully understand myself. I can only explain what I think to some one. Everyone is unique!



Atonement 
2007 UK
Actor/Actress: Juno Temple, Benedict Cumberbatch 

This movie is great, but not the kind of movie I prefer. What makes me shiver was my beloved Benedict Cumberbatch, Yes, I admit I have a huge crush on him since Sherlock BBC, and Juno Temple who is a lovely, kind of crazy women. I like to imagine her as Lolita Haze (Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov). She would be PERFECT! The scenes with them are tense and somehow disturbing. But they gave me something; something to think about.



Pirates of the Caribbean (mainly 2 and 3)
2006/2007 USA
Actors/Actress: Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp, Tom Hollander, Jack Davenport

I was really obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean. This was my life for many years. Well, up till now! I am so in love with that story. And Keira and Johnny (surprise!!!). My dream now is to walk along a beach in a white dress, holding it, so it wont get wet, just imagine I live in that time.



The Ramen Girl
2008 USA, Japan
Actress: Brittany Murphy

I watched that movie, because some one told me it was a good movie. Usually I don`t watch things people show me, because I am selfish and want to like things I like and not things some one TELLS me to like (STUPID!), but I watched it, because the story sounded interesting. And it was. Great movie. I miss beautiful Brittany Murphy. She was like an angel!

R.I.P Brittany Murphy 


Don`t say a word
2001 USA
Actress: Brittany Murphy

The story was very lame and not really logical. But Brittanys stunning acting was breathtaking. She played a young womam in the asylum. She nailed the character, I really believed she had a traumatic childhood experience! BAM, she was just wonderful! 

and maybe I should mention, that she was fuckin Harley Quinn? Is it too much already? Good, I`ll stop....


more to come.....

Domino

2005 USA
Crime, Drama, Action


The story about the famous Bounty hunter Domino Harvey. (Yes, short; but information enough!)



Oh my! I will not tell you, why I like this movie....It is probably ONLY because of my beloved Keira Knightley, who looks and acts breathtaking by the way! No no, this movie is pretty bad. Don`t know why, maybe because of the blood and the "Story" (It doesn`t really have a story) and the fact that the real Domino was a lesbian and the movie version is hetero). I love two scenes of that movie, and that is enough to call this one of Yanas favorite Movies!
Note this: Keira Knightley and I have a story. She does not know this, but I do.
You may try this one, maybe you like it, maybe you don`t like it....
V for Vendetta

127 Minutes
Action, Sci-Fi, Thriller
Germany, UK, USA 2005

Great Britan 2030, V, a masked freedom fighter wants to take revenge. His target: The Government.
On his way he meets Evey Hammond. Let the wonderful story begin!




Oh I cried hours over this...2005 was a hard year for me. This movie brought me back. The Idea of fighting for your right and to suffer helped me to find my way back. I even read the book (and I hate reading, because seeing is much more emotional then reading; this is, what I think, I am glad if people love to read!). You can not kill an Idea, they told the truth...
I am grateful! Natalie Portman did perfectly. She was a real inspiration. We go way back sister...

Bonnie and Clyde

107 Minutes
1967 USA
Drama, Real, Gangster

The story about Bonnie and Clyde the famous Gangster-pair from Texas.




Faye Donaway and Warran Beatty in the leading roles. They harmonize so well! You can nearly feel the love between them. I am very fascinated by that story in general. Two people, hardly know each other, almost destined to be together, leaving to face adventures. It is very foolish, but I think we all understand that strange passion for trouble! I would watch that movie all day long! Go on; try!

Sucker Punch

110 Minutes
Drama, action, fantasy, thriller
USA

The young girl Baby Doll gets admitted to an asylum by her stepfather.




Oh man this one made my life. You really learn to move on after a crisis after that. This movie is almost like a fairytale, but with a very sad ending. The music I have to say, is LOVELY! So if you like hot girls (Vanessa Hudgens; who did wonderfully in this; and Emily Browning), and video games, you HAVE to watch it! And try not to cry, because really...I am thankful for the 110 Minutes, stolen from my life. I don`t want them back!
Welcome to the Rileys

110 Minutes
Drama
USA

On a business trip to New Orleans, a man seeks salvation by caring for a wayward young woman.



A very dramatic movie. I cried several times. It is about life and love, and how you can love someone even though that person does mistakes; and we all do!
Kristen Steward did an amazing job! She is very beautiful and in this movie a real inspiration. There are no more words to say. Great movie!
Pillowtalk

Comedy, romance
1959
USA

Brad Allen, a singer/composer and architect Jan Morror don`t like each other (and that is all I`m gonna tell you!)




When I was young me and my Dad watched a lot of black/white movies together, that is why I am obsessed with woman like Julie Newmar, Marilyn Monroe, Brigit Bardot, Rita Hayworth, Doris Day etc. and man like Rock Hudson and James Dean (they were all so beautiful and...so different from what people are nowadays!)
I love Doris and Rocky together, so I watched this movie. And it is one of the best Comedy movies ever created, very funny and cute! If you want to have a good laugh, watch it. Watch it now!!!!

I miss you Rock, R.I.P

Taboo/Gohatto

100 Minutes
1999 Japan
Drama, Gay, Samurai

The life of young Samurai Kano Sozaboro. A tale about the way of the Samurai and homosexuality in old Japan. 




One of my absolute favs. You may know Shinsengumi and one of my favorite Samurai warriors Okita Souji! Who by the way dyed of a disease I have, and I...because I am lucky can live with medication and he had to die a lonely and painful death! Also I really love Japanese Gay stories they are full of love and passion. You may not like this movie, because it is very slow and nothing really happens, but it has great scenes and it may help to understand Japanese Culture better. Please give Riuhei Matsuda and the others a try! Some scenes are really so beautiful that I had to cry, and don`t even know why! Dripping blood is wow! The sword fights are very tense, and the love scenes are perfect! Taboo my number one!
Quarantine

89 Minutes
USA
Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller

This movie tell the Story about a young reporter, and her team being trapped inside a building after the outbreak of a mysterious Virus.



I really hate Horror-movies, because I am always shitting my pants. And well sleeping after watching this will be hard...For me it was...Well I actually don`t like this sort of movies but Jennifer Carpenters acting where wonderful! I was so scared, and she was, too. She is one of the best actresses, I`ve ever seen! Best performance after The exorcism of Emily Rose! Oh she loves this Genre! Haha...
This movie is only interesting if you like Horror and tonnes of blood, but also very good acting!
Confession/ Kokuhaku

106 Minutes
Japan 2010
Drama, Thriller, Mystery

A mother who tries to get revenge for her young daughters death. She comes up with a master plan to pay back the boys who did it.





Seriously. You MUST watch this movie. Japanese movies tent to be boring and long, but this Lady s and Gents will change your life. It is dramatic, beautiful (yes, they show us, that murder can be beautiful!). With very convincing actors, Nishi Yukito, my beloved Ciel Phantomhive from the Kuroshitsuji Musical! They are very talented. The story is very disturbing though, but you will like it. I hope...No I beg that you will watch this. You will not regret it!
Chatroom

2010 UK
Thriller, Drama

A thriller by Hideo Nakata. It is about five teenagers meeting in a "Chat-room". 




We see pretty new and wonderful actors here. This movie doesn`t need Hollywood legends! Imogene Poots is hah....I love her!
It may sound simple and boring. But this movie is REAL life put into film. The location is breathtaking and the actors are marvelous! It is a MUST SEE!

A wonderful independent movie. Magical. Very poetic, you may cry. The scenery is stunning. Wonderful acting. Hope someone likes it as much as I do!
The first movie I would like to present is Caroline Cherie

83 Minutes

This movie is one of my favorite. France. Revolution. It is the tale of a young woman trying to find her place in the "mans-world". This movie is very funny and delicate.  




France Anglade is a wonderful actress, she is very cute, but very strong at the same time. It is worth a try!
